Walkways, Patios
& Drainage In
Conroe, TX.

Gravel and step stone walkways, paver patios, driveway extensions, French drains, and small retaining walls. Conroe has something most of Houston does not, which is actual slope. That helps the water leave on its own, and it works against anything loose you put on the ground.

What We Build

Five Things
We Do Well
In Conroe.

We build the parts of a yard that do not grow. Paths, patios, drainage, and edging. No lawn care, no lawn maintenance, no tree removal. If that is what you need, we will point you somewhere good.

On a sloped lot the order changes. Holding the ground comes before dressing it, so walls and edging tend to lead the conversation up here.

Retaining Walls & Borders

Short walls that hold a bank and stop a bed washing into the lawn. Nothing that needs an engineer. If your slope needs more than that, we will tell you on the visit rather than build it anyway.

Gravel & Step Stone Walkways In Conroe

Concrete step stones set level with 3.5 inches of black star gravel between them, held in by bender board. On a grade the edging is not optional, and on a steeper run the path gets stepped rather than sloped.

French Drains & Yard Drainage

Inlets, pipe, and a grade that runs toward an outlet. Slope is on your side here, which sometimes means the honest answer is a downspout extension and a swale rather than a full system.

Paver Patios & Patio Extensions

Interlocking pavers over compacted base. On a sloped lot a patio usually needs a level pad cut into the grade first, and that is part of the quote rather than a surprise halfway through.

Driveway Extensions

Extra parking down the side of the drive. We tell you in writing which builds are rated to be driven on and which are not, before the deposit.
Conroe Ground

Slope Helps You.
Until It Does Not.

Most of the yards we work in are flat enough that water just sits. Up here it moves, which solves one problem and creates a different one. Four things that change when the ground is not level.
01
Use It, Do Not Fight It

The Fall

Water that moves on its own is a head start most Houston yards do not get. It also means a drainage fix here is sometimes smaller than people expect. We would rather route what you already have than sell you pipe you do not need.
02
Gravity Wins

The Washout

Loose material on a grade ends up at the bottom of the grade. Gravel poured without edging will be in the lawn by the second good storm. On a real slope the path gets stepped and terraced rather than run straight down it.
03
Not The Same Dirt

Sand And Pine

Come this far north and the ground starts behaving differently from the gumbo clay south of here. It can drain faster and it can also cut and erode more easily on a slope. We look at what is actually under the grass before we plan around it.
04
Where We Stop

Down At The Water

On a Lake Conroe lot we will build the yard, the paths, and the beds. What we do not do is bulkheads, docks, or shoreline structures. That is a marine trade with its own permissions, and we are not going to pretend otherwise to keep the job.
The honest limit on a sloped lot is wall height. We build short walls that hold a bank or a bed. Once a wall is doing structural work it needs an engineer, and that is a different job with a different trade on it. We will say which one you are looking at while we are standing in the yard, not after the deposit.

Where We Work
Around Conroe.

Most people who call us saw a video of the work before they ever saw the website. That is a strange way to start a relationship and we kind of like it. Jobs are assigned by zone before the quote goes out, so the crew that pulls up already had your address on their board. Every crew on your property is in an Eden's Garden shirt.

Depends how much wall you need. We build short walls that hold a bank, terrace a bed, or take a step out of a grade, and those do not need engineering. Once a wall is genuinely holding a slope back it becomes structural, which means an engineer and a contractor set up for that work. We will tell you which side of that line your yard sits on while we are standing in it.

Yes, and it is usually two things. Loose gravel with nothing holding the edges will always migrate downhill, and a path that runs straight down a grade gives the water a channel to do it with. We edge in bender board, set concrete step stones so there is a solid surface underfoot, and on a steeper run we step the path rather than slope it.

On the yard side, yes. Paths down toward the water, patios, beds, edging, and drainage are all work we do. Bulkheads, docks, and shoreline structures are not. That is a marine trade with its own permissions attached to it, and taking it on would be us learning at your expense. We are happy to do our part and stop where our part stops.

Sometimes, and sometimes the opposite. A patio on a grade needs a level pad cut first, which adds to it. Drainage on a grade can be simpler than on a flat lot, because the water already wants to go somewhere. We price it off the yard rather than a rate card, which is why the visit matters.

We measure rather than guess. Step stones in black star gravel price below pavers over the same footprint. On a slope, edging and any stepping needed are part of the number rather than an extra, and we would rather show you that upfront. The visit is free and the quote is in writing within 24 hours of it.

No. The site visit is free and jobs are assigned by zone, so your project has a crew on it before the quote goes out. Conroe is toward the northern end of where we work, so if you are further out than the lake it is worth a quick call to confirm before we book the visit.

Under $5,000 it is 50% to schedule and 50% on completion after the final walkthrough. Over $5,000 it is 50% to schedule, 30% at the halfway mark, and 20% on completion. Same structure for every customer. The deposit reserves the crew, the date, and the materials.

Grand Central Park, Artavia, Woodforest, Harper’s Preserve, The Woodlands Hills, Graystone Hills, Teaswood, Barton Creek Ranch, Fosters Ridge, Evergreen, Mavera, and Silverthorne, plus the rest of Conroe either side of I-45. The gated communities over on the west side of Lake Conroe carry a Montgomery address, and we cover those as well. If your street is not on that list, give us a call and we will tell you either way.
